Lifted from the album "Old Rottenhat"

"So let's have no reservations
Let's have a clean sweep
Clearing the way for the land of the free
Let's hear it for civilisation once more
Build your Aryan empire in peace"

  • Terrific and beautiful Wyatt song, crystalline clarity of a serious great artist! Thanks Robert!

  • Love erratic way he expresses... kind of desabused detachment he provoks (in me, don't know sensations he induces on others)

  • Robert is a genius..... I love him for what he brings is so very true to my heart... my ear.... my brain...

  • Had the pleasure of hearing this on the radio , went out and bought it on vinyl. I t struck a chord that I still hear in my mind making me want to whistle.

  • If we consider the art and music of Robert Wyatt as social commentary, then each song represents a type of lament for a particular socio- political event close to his heart. East Timor in the late 70"s being invaded by Indonesia, the land of the American Indian suffering from occupation by a people lost in their own environmental and political and philosophical degradation, how we make and break Alliances so easily et al. Cool stuff though.

  • kinda art nouveau some how? II feel it.

  • This is really good, surprised by the low view count.

  • THIS IS PURE ART !!!!
